After news broke last week that Bryan Cranston's Tony-winning play about Lyndon B. Johnson, "All the Way," was on its way to TV via a Steven Spielberg miniseries, the actor has clarified those plans, while also dropping some details about his upcoming memoir.

Vulture chatted with Cranston Monday night, and asked for an update on "All the Way"'s progress. While the Spielberg connection was accurate, though some other details are still being worked out.

The actor also mentioned that early reports that "All the Way" author Robert Schenkkan's second play about LBJ, "The Great Society," would be included in the television adaptation were inaccurate.
